Al-Munafiqun

63:1When the hypocrites come to you, they say, "We testify that you are the messenger of God." And God knows that you are His messenger, and God testifies that the hypocrites are liars.

63:2They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of God. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.

63:3That is because they believed, and then they disbelieved; so their hearts were sealed over, and they do not understand.

63:4And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were pieces of wood propped up - they think that every shout is against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. May God destroy them; how are they deluded?

63:5And when it is said to them, "Come, the messenger of God will ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside and you see them evading while they are arrogant.

63:6It is all the same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them or do not ask forgiveness for them; never will God forgive them. Indeed, God does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

63:7They are the ones who say, "Do not spend on those who are with the messenger of God until they disband." And to God belongs the depositories of the heavens and the earth, but the hypocrites do not understand.

63:8They say, "If we return to Medina, the more honored [for power] will surely expel therefrom the more humble." And to God belongs [all] honor, and to His messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.

63:9O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from remembrance of God. And whoever does that - then those are the losers.

63:10
And spend [in the way of God] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, "My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous."

63:11But never will God delay a soul when its time has come. And God is Acquainted with what you do.
